Writing understandably for a general audience (B1 level)

How do you make complex information accessible to a general audience? That requires more than just being a good writer. You need to know what your reader needs and how to convey your message clearly.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to turn a complicated story into a clear, focused, and engaging piece of writing. In other words: a text that works for your readers.

    General

    Please note that this course will be in Dutch.

    Content and structure

    During the workshop, we will be exploring the following questions:

    • Understandable writing: why is it important?
    • What is an appropriate language level for your readers?
    • What information does your reader need, and how do you present it in an effective way?
    • How can you use Generative AI as a writing aid?

    We’ll walk you through the essential stages of the writing process, step by step. The workshop offers plenty of opportunity to practise and apply each step directly to your own text. Because we work with small groups, there’s lots of room for personalised feedback to help you further improve your text.

    What is the outcome of this course?

    After completing this course:

    • You will have a better understanding of the writing process.
    • You will know how to tailor a text to your target audience.
    • You will have a handy step-by-step plan to write texts that work.

    Who is this course intended for?

    For anyone who wants to be able to write clear texts for a broad, general audience like general citizens, customers, or patients.
